If I can do that, it'll mean no contracts, no BS and $50 a month versus ATT's rape-me prices that run close to $120 a month. I figure if it doesn't work correctly (unlikely, but just in case - there are a lot of testamonials from people who have done this) I'll just eat the $45 SIM card and go upgrade to an iPhone 5. Of course who knows if the 5 will be all that much of an improvement on the 4. I thought Siri was cool on the 4S (played with it in the store a few times) but nothing that would compel me to run out and blow another $400-$500 plus a contract for one. The 5 better be WORLDS better than the 4 otherwise it just won't be worth it to most people, including me. For not having to be on a contract, being rid of ATT and saving more than half off my bill every month, keeping my venerable 4 is pretty enticing...

4g, free turn by turn navigation (rumored), and a better antenna and phone quality (rumored). That's enough for me, though I would love to give AT&T the finger and go monthly.
